Well, it certainly is called a hybrid, but that's marketing hype; it's
operation is completely DV in nature. It's "hybrid" characteristic is that
it only sends incremental updates and it establishes neighbor relationships,
which other DV protocols do not do.
That does not, however, change its basic nature, which is distance vector.

one, in fact.
